1. WHO IS HARRY BROWNE?

  Harry Browne is seeking the Libertarian nomination for president in 1996.
  The Libertarian Party will be selecting its nominee during the first week
  of July 1996, at its national convention in Washington, DC.

  Harry Browne is an author, a public speaker, and an investment advisor.
  His ten books have sold 2,100,000 copies, and four of them reached the
  best-seller lists.

  He became widely known in the early 1970s through _How You Can Profit from
  the Coming Devaluation_, _How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World_, and
  _You Can Profit from a Monetary Crisis_ (which was #1 on the _New York
  Times_ best-seller list).

  Since 1974 he has been writing _Harry Browne's Special Reports_ -- a
  newsletter that provides commentary on the economy, investments, government,
  politics, and other social areas.  He is widely respected for his honest,
  down-to-earth writing and investment advice.

  He is constantly in demand as a public speaker and for radio and TV
  interviews.  He has appeared on all the leading national talk shows, and
  he has been called upon frequently for commentary by CNN, CNBC, and other
  networks.

  In his latest book, _Why Government Doesn't Work_, published in November
  1995 by St. Martin's Press, he presents a plan to drastically cut federal
  spending, eliminate the federal income tax, and balance the federal budget.
